|
|
47 greetings all,
|
|||
|
|
48 A funny thing happened today. Let me backup a step...
|
|||
|
|
49 Our class had a algerbra test on tuesday and I was not looking
|
|||
|
|
50 forward to going to class tonight. (praying for a curve?) I had
|
|||
|
|
51 planned to skip it and guess what happens? My desk mate calls
|
|||
|
|
52 and tells me that she can't make it and needs to know what homework
|
|||
|
|
53 is going to be assigned tonight. So I'm a good girl and go to
|
|||
|
|
54 school so my desk mate will know what her homework will be.
|
|||
|
|
55 I arrive late and find out that the test will not be ready to hand
|
|||
|
|
56 back untill tuesday.(great) I sit through a painful lecture and
|
|||
|
|
57 she almost forgets to assign us homework at the end. In the end
|
|||
|
|
58 I get the homework assignment and learn a little about functions
|
|||
|
|
59 in the process. It was like a greater force insisted that I
|
|||
|
|
60 attend school tonight. But, for what greater purpose.?
|
|||
|
|
61 Just thought Id waste a few lines here on the BWMS, others do, so
|
|||
|
|
62 why not me?

|
65 Man. Him. She longed for him. It was her way not to show emotion, but in
|
|||
|
|
66 concealing her emotion from others it swelled inside herself. Lust, love, they
|
|||
|
|
67 were just words, symbols for feelings that can never be expressed in words.
|
|||
|
|
68 A hollow in her body told her that she wanted him. The fever in her head
|
|||
|
|
69 confirmed it. Still she could not reveal these passions. When they were
|
|||
|
|
70 together, she was the strong one, only to him. The pain of hiding the pleasure
|
|||
|
|
71 made her strong in his nearness, on the exterior.
|
|||
|
|
72 To tell him with a touch, a kiss, a caress, an embrace, so little, yet
|
|||
|
|
73 so powerful. No, it was not the way. This attachment was not meant to be. How
|
|||
|
|
74 could she go on? Her every waking moment was in dreaming of him. Asleep, awake,
|
|||
|
|
75 her life was of him and for him. In dreams only. It was her different age, as
|
|||
|
|
76 much as his dreams were to him.
|
|||
|
|
77 The visits were difficult. So vulnerable, he laid on his couch, she could
|
|||
|
|
78 see in his eyes what feelings he held for her. To return those feelings, to
|
|||
|
|
79 let him know. How simple. How impossible. It was not her way. It was not
|
|||
|
|
80 allowed. She was not to become emotionally involved with a patient. A patient?
|
|||
|
|
81 A lover. She wanted to forget the instructions. Rules made by people who could
|
|||
|
|
82 not understand feeling. They shared so much. She knew his eyes. She knew him.
|
|||
|
|
83 How natural. She could. She had to. His ascendancy in her mind. She could no
|
|||
|
|
84 longer deny it. It was worth it. The pain it could cause. The price they both
|
|||
|
|
85 would pay. It was no use.
|
|||
|
|
86 A sliver of metal and engine and humanity seeks out a new place. The
|
|||
|
|
87 sounds of the ship notified her of status. A new place would come soon. He
|
|||
|
|
88 was not ready. She could help. It was worth it all. She would go to him.
|
|||
|
|
89 A pulse quickened. The truth. Excitement and wonder. It would not be long
|
|||
|
|
90 now. She knew it well. Star-crossed lovers ever closer to their stars.

190 Where it has never been seen that all men could, in unison, bend knee and
|
|||
|
|
191 pledge loyalty to a single leader, few have maintained that such a world could
|
|||
|
|
192 not exist. However, what is the loyalty of a man but his desire to secure his
|
|||
|
|
193 life, attain a goal, or perpetuate a philosophy? Is universal loyalty, then,
|
|||
|
|
194 just a collection of individual goals and desires? Man is, after all, a selfish
|
|||
|
|
195 beast. But loyalty does exist -- can the same be said of devotion? The world
|
|||
|
|
196 cannot revolve about a single man, and though a man may sleep, the world would
|
|||
|
|
197 continue to revolve regardless of who that man may be.

210 Okay, Michelle. Just what makes you worth chatting with? Tell the truth, now.

213 A few tricky manouvers were required to guide the Razor's Edge near the edge
|
|||
|
|
214 of the large stream running past the Inn. Strange- a ship that size should not
|
|||
|
|
215 have fitted into such a small body of water; yet, there it was, twisting the
|
|||
|
|
216 eyes of any watchers.
|
|||
|
|
217 Grann nimbly jumped off the prow and onto the muddy bank, quickly tying the
|
|||
|
|
218 boat onto the small footbridge in order to secure it. When his task was done,
|
|||
|
|
219 he stopped and watched the many ducks that had gathered on the stiller portions
|
|||
|
|
220 of the stream. After a bit, he pulled out a package of pastry squares and fed
|
|||
|
|
221 a few to the ducks, yet more to himself.
|
|||
|
|
222 The green-eyed mage lightly dropped over the side, and motioned to Grann who
|
|||
|
|
223 had somehow finished the entire box of pastries.
|
|||
|
|
224 A few hurried steps brought them to the front door of the Inn. A few more
|
|||
|
|
225 carried them to a meeting room, far in the back of the main common area, where
|
|||
|
|
226 other cloaked figures sat talking.
|
|||
|
|
227 What did they discuss? Did a new danger threaten Innisfal? An old enemy?
|
|||
|
|
228 Did the figures discuss the true nature of the universe, or at least that one?
|
|||
|
|
229 Perhaps all or none of these. But pleasant hours were passed, regardless of
|
|||
|
|
230 the topic of discussion. And perhaps a few good ideas got their start there.

271 Billy,
|
|||
|
|
272 I don't do much sci-fi or comic book reading, but the other topics sound OK.
|
|||
|
|
273 Books: Due to school, I haven't much time to give to leisure reading, but I
|
|||
|
|
274 try to fit in a book once and awhile to keep sane. I like to read "The
|
|||
|
|
275 Classics," and most recently read
|
|||
|
|
276 "Steppenwolf."
|
|||
|
|
277 TV: I watch "Moonlighting" and not much else.
|
|||
|
|
278 Movies: Foreign films all the way.
|
|||
|
|
279 Yourself?

284 Hmmm, looks like we need to get this Club Plaza situation cleared up.

285 On-line 24 hours a day? Let me guess... Since there are 25 hours today,
|

|
|
286 you decided to take it down the one hour I did call, between 0200 hrs
|
|||
|

287 and 0200 (post PDT reset), right? I am very interested in what has to be

346 I am still wearing the same things.

348 I am still begging the same question

362 This way the dust, that way the dust.

|

363 I listen to both sides

364 But I keep right on.
|

365 I remember the leaves sitting in judgement
|

|

366 And then winter.
|

|

367
|

368 I remember the rain with its bundle of roads.

|

|

394
|
|||
|
|
395 1. Acquisition of the Nuclear Option
|
|||
|
|
396
|
|||
|
|
397 a) You may receive one Nuke and two armies in place of
|
|||
|
|
398 the normal number of armies when you turn in cards at the
|
|||
|
|
399 beginning of your turn (Or when you capture another players
|
|||
|
|
400 cards) provided one of the following conditions are meet.
|
|||
|
|
401
|
|||
|
|
402 1) At least one of the three cards you turn in is a
|
|||
|
|
403 country that you occupy. The Nuke will be placed on one of the
|
|||
|
|
404 afore mentioned countries that you occupy. In addition you get
|
|||
|
|
405 two Armies to strengthen your Nuclear base to be placed on the
|
|||
|
|
406 same country as the Nuke.
|
|||
|
|
407
|
|||
|
|
408 2) You play a Wild card, in lieu of a card whose
|
|||
|
|
409 country you occupy, for Nuclear placement. You may use the Wild
|
|||
|
|
410 card to improve the security of your installation i.e. Place it
|
|||
|
|
411 in a well fortified area behind the front lines. However beware
|
|||
|
|
412 someone may pull that card and Nuke your installation.
|
|||
|
|
413
|
|||
|
|
414 2. Use of the Nuclear Option
|
|||
|
|
415
|
|||
|
|
416 a) Offensive Use
|
|||
|
|
417
|
|||
|
|
418 Nuclear deployment can only occur at the beginning of
|
|||
|
|
419 your turn. Your available targets are determined by the cards
|
|||
|
|
420 you hold. (Wild cards cannot be used for target designation) Or
|
|||
|
|
421 after you have captured another players cards and turn them in
|
|||
|
|
422 for credit.
|
|||
|
|
423
|
|||
|
|
424 b) Defensive Use
|
|||
|
|
425
|
|||
|
|
426 A player may only use their Nuclear arms when the are
|
|||
|
|
427 being attacked. The nuclear option exists as long as the player
|
|||
|
|
428 is under attack. The player is under no obligation to inform
|
|||
|
|
429 anyone of impending retaliation. The only target limitation
|
|||
|
|
430 being the cards the player holds. (One special case exists.
|
|||
|
|
431 i.e. It is Blacks turn. Black attacks Red who launches and
|
|||
|
|
432 destroys a country Green holds. Green now has the Nuclear
|
|||
|
|
433 Option to retaliate against whatever targets he has.)
|
|||
|
|
434
|
|||
|
|
435 1) Defensive Launch
|
|||
|
|
436
|
|||
|
|
437 The primary defender (Player being conventionally
|
|||
|
|
438 attacked) may launch after he has beaten the attacking player
|
|||
|
|
439 in a roll of the dice in lieu of the attacking player removing
|
|||
|
|
440 the armies he lost in the roll. A split is sufficient. *NOTE
|
|||
|
|
441 Once a Nuclear exchange has begun it can continue until the
|
|||
|
|
442 last player effected cannot or chooses not to continue. (i.e.
|
|||
|
|
443 Green launches against Red who launches against Blue who
|
|||
|
|
444 launches Yellow who launches against Black who has Nuclear
|
|||
|
|
445 capability but chooses not to launch.
|
|||
|
|
446
|
|||
|
|
447 3. Discussion & Miscellaneous Rules
|
|||
|
|
448
|
|||
|
|
449 Targets - are determined by the cards you hold. They
|
|||
|
|
450 are played by laying the chosen card face up on the board. It
|
|||
|
|
451 is then returned to the card stack and shuffled back into the
|
|||
|
|
452 deck.
|
|||
|
|
453
|
|||
|
|
454 Cards - After any cards are played they are then
|
|||
|
|
455 shuffled back into the deck for potential reuse by another
|
|||
|
|
456 player.
|
|||
|
|
457
|
|||
|
|
458 Dead Zones - A dead zone is established whenever a
|
|||
|
|
459 country is has been target of a nuclear exchange and remains a
|
|||
|
|
460 Dead Zone for the rest of the game. No player may occupy a Dead
|
|||
|
|
461 Zone however players may pass through a D.Z. at a cost of half
|
|||
|
|
462 of their forces plus one army. The armies are removed when
|
|||
|
|
463 entering the D.Z. Armies awarded for holding a continent for
|
|||
|
|
464 one turn are not awarded if that continent has a D.Z. If a
|
|||
|
|
465 country has been the site of more than one nuclear strike it
|
|||
|
|
466 cannot be held or crossed for the remainder of the game. In the
|
|||
|
|
467 event that it is impossible to capture all the armies a draw
|
|||
|
|
468 will be declared between the remaining forces.
|
|||
|
|
469
|
|||
|
|
470 Capture of a Nuke - When a nuclear base is under attack
|
|||
|
|
471 it is the defenders choice to launch if he beats the attackers
|
|||
|
|
472 roll however if the defender loses all the armies around the
|
|||
|
|
473 nuclear site that country is overrun by the attacker. And the
|
|||
|
|
474 occupier of the country has control over the site. The only
|
|||
|
|
475 exception is that should the original owner of the silo have
|
|||
|
|
476 the card for that country he may at the beginning of his turn
|
|||
|
|
477 detonate the nuke in its silo.
|
|||
|
|
478
|
|||
|
|
479 Rearming existing silos - Any player may rearm any
|
|||
|
|
480 site that currently has an existing weapon or empty silo.
|
|||
|
|
481 Providing the player owns that country. Rearming happens at
|
|||
|
|
482 the beginning of each player turn when he turns in cards and
|
|||
|
|
483 requests a Nuke or after the capture of another players cards
|
|||
|
|
484 and turns them in.
|
|||
|
|
485
|
|||
|
|
486 Army count - Every time a set of cards are turned in
|
|||
|
|
487 the count of armies increases. However when the count reaches
|
|||
|
|
488 ten armies only cards turned in for Armies increase the count,
|
|||
|
|
489 cards turned in for Nukes after ten Armies are reached do not
|
|||
|
|
490 increase the count.

|
|
514 P.(3)
|
|||
|
|
515
|
|||
|
|
516 As Mark sat drinking his morning Pepsi he contemplated the major thoughts
|
|||
|
|
517 of the day. 'What the Hell ?? A car speeding off its present course on
|
|||
|
|
518 the highway, & crashing into a Mobil Stations 30 FT. tall sign. Jesus..'
|
|||
|
|
519 he muttered as he stepped out of the resteraunt to go scheck the
|
|||
|
|
520 accident "these drwers, Chao !!" He tripped over something in his path..
|
|||
|
|
521 "OH GOD" He screamed & bolted upright, shocked into trembling fear at
|
|||
|
|
522 what he saw, it was a burnt body, its mouth frozen open in a soundless
|
|||
|
|
523 cry of terror, burnt by tremendous heat. By it were, tiny three toed
|
|||
|
|
524 tracts. Then the flood of darkness swept over him, He felt himself
|
|||
|
|
525 being moved, Were ??
|
|||
|
|
526
|
|||
|
|
527 HOME ?
|
|||
|
|
528 Were was he ? was he home ? Yes he was home. BUt How ......
|
|||
|
|
529 He staggered to his feet, his head pounding in shock of what he just saw
|
|||
|
|
530 the falling, the seeing of the body, the tracts ?? Trscks..?
|
|||
|
|
531 What the hell kind of animal makes three toed tracks ?
|
|||
|
|
532 He staggeres slowly out into the livingroom, distinguishing the round,
|
|||
|
|
533 soft familier shapes in the darkness. "Dad ?.." He fumbiled for the
|
|||
|
|
534 light swich,,'Click', no power ? For a instant his heart sped up, He was
|
|||
|
|
535 always been affraid of blackouts.
|
|||
|
|
536 There was someone down in the basement that secpund, but they werent
|
|||
|
|
537 fixing fuses... He slowly walked into the kitchen, the unowem was cold
|
|||
|
|
538 on his feet even though he had wolen socks. 'BRRRRRR..' he mumbled as
|
|||
|
|
539 his hand supped into a silverware drawer. out of it he pulled a penlite
|
|||
|
|
540 flashlight, He pushed the tiny swich, Nouthing, He almost anticipated it.
|
|||
|
|
541 "Just like every thing else in this house, Junked up!" He unscrewed the
|
|||
|
|
542 small metal case it made a protesting scraping noise, & finely opened,
|
|||
|
|
543 hanging its rusty-looking contents over to the Victor..
